Ross Stores share dividends

28%

Dividend payout ratio: 27.86% of net profits

Recently Ross Stores has paid out, on average, around 27.86% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ross Stores shareholders could enjoy a 1.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ross Stores's case, that would currently equate to about $1.29 per share.

While Ross Stores's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Ross Stores may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Ross Stores's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Ross Stores's shares ever split?

Ross Stores's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 June 2015. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ross Stores shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ross Stores shares which in turn could have impacted Ross Stores's share price.
